In every storm, our first instinct is to look for shelter. When we cannot find shelter, we may just stop where we are, and pray for protection. Some are prepared to drive right through the storm because they believe they will eventually exit into better weather.
It is the same with our life journeys. How well prepared are we to weather the storms in our life? I believe we can better handle the storms in our health, our career, or our relationships, if we are grounded in the real foundations that sustain life.
A tree may take a long time to grow, but if it is planted right, it will have deep roots that anchor it well.
All storms will pass, and that includes the storms of life.
"Adversity is like the period of the rain ... cold, comfortless, unfriendly to man and animal; yet from that season have their birth the flower, the fruit, the date, the rose and the pomegranate." - Sir Walter Scott.
